Why Jose Cuervo Tequila is Like an Old High School Hook-Up

by AZ | March 10, 2010 at 1:16 p.m.
Tell me if this has happened to you. Back in high school, you hooked up with little slam piece from class: There was some making out, maybe you touched her where she pees, and, if you were lucky, you got a little BJ that you could tell your bros about even though it felt like a rabid squirrel gnawing off the tip of your man stick. Overall, it was an awkward and painful experience leaving you in need of a little ointment and a big hug.

Now fast-forward several years later. You and this same birdie reconnect, have a few drinks and find yourselves right back where you left off back in high school, only this time she's DTF and, unbeknownst to you, trained up like a porn star. You initiate reluctantly, but by the end you're lying there in a pool of sweat, drained of all bodily fluids and realizing you just had the ride of your life and now have to clean an eight-roper out of your ceiling fan.

I bring this up because I just had an identical experience with the world's most notorious tequila brand, Jose Cuervo.  Keep Reading »

Tequila 101: How to Drink Mexico's Favorite Spirit

by AZ | March 5, 2010 at 2:42 p.m.
It's day three of BroBible's tequila crusade in Mexico and so far it's been nothing short of glorious debauchery. A few words to sum it up: shots, strippers, shots, tacos, aspirin, and shots. As I mentioned in my last post, Jose Cuervo invited us down to celebrate the launch of its limited edition 2010 Reserva De La Familia tequila.

Tequila is a spirit that few people really understand so we're about to hit you with some knowledge. When you think of tequila, chances are the first things that come to mind are salt, shot glasses, and limes; in fact it's a complex spirit that can be enjoyed in many different ways. To give you guys the real scoop on tequila, I turned to my good friend and award-winning mixologist and tequila expert, Mark Stoddard, from Bitter Bar in Boulder, Colorado.  Keep Reading »

BroBible Heads to Mexico to Taste Jose Cuervo's Newest Tequila

by AZ | March 3, 2010 at 2:07 p.m.


It's the first week of March, meaning college bros around the country have that looming tickle of anticipation in their nut sacks as they finish up midterms and quickly approach the time of year where dreams come true, inhibitions are an after thought, and dignities are shattered. The time of year that all younger bros dream about and older bros reminisce about until the day they die. It can be summed up by two words that roll off the tongue like vomit after a Vegas bender: SPRIINNNGG BREEEAAAKK!!!  Keep Reading »

Girls Will Be Slamming Tequila Shots All Summer Thanks to the Paradiso Girls

by AG | July 1, 2009 at 6:03 p.m.


We can't tell if this video is an advertisement or a legit music video, but that doesn't mean we don't love it. The single "Patron Tequila" is by a PCD-ish girl group called Paradiso Girls, along with Lil John and Eve. BroBible contributor Commie Rat chimes in wit this assessment: "This thing is guaranteed to be the number one club anthem this summer. Literally, women who hear this come on the speakers will take several shots of tequila and then sleep with the first man they see." We'll drink to that.

Bottling Infused Tequila... and an Entrepreneurial Dream

by AG | June 3, 2009 at 4:23 p.m.


While Bros hold down jobs of all types, there is no career aspiration more common among us than the prospect of becoming a successful entrepreneur. What Bro hasn't had an idea for a new business and dreamed of making it big -- and yes, striking it rich? And so, every week, BroBible picks the mind of a successful Bro entrepreneur and discovers what it takes to turn a simple idea into a thriving business. You've already met Maverik Lacrosse's John Gagliardi, Tap'd Founder Craig Zucker, New York party promoters Derek and Daniel Koch, TOMS shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, sports agent Doug Eldridge, Hollywood agent Ben Press, and YouRenew.com co-founder Rich Little Hale.

Up next is Jonathan Rojewski, who founded Tanteo Tequila, a new premium spirits company that offers Jalapeno-, Tropical-, and Chocolate-infused tequilas. Rojewski debuted Tanteo in his hometown of New York City this past year, and already has plans to expand to California, Florida, Texas, and beyond. Rojewski spoke to BroBible recently about the intricacies to tequila production and the intoxication of pursuing an entrepreneurial dream. Check back later this week for Tanteo Tequila cocktail recipes.


BroBible: Why the jump from finance into premium tequila?

Jonathan Rojewski: I was spending a long time in Mexico in the early 2000 years, traveling and surfing, and really just got into tequila. Before I was in finance I worked as a chef and thought was going to be my ultimate career path. And so the whole culinary component of the world and wine and spirits. and they all worked together was something that I was always very interested in. And so one thing just kind of lead to another, and the accessibility of the tequila world in Mexico -- people tend to be pretty amazing and pretty open. So I just started learning about it. Going to Guadalajara, a great under-appreciated city I think and Tequila is about an hour outside of there and just found some distilleries and started learning the craft, started infusing tequila of on my own, just as a hobby.

In March of 2006 the government body that regulates tequila changed the standard and essentially allowed for infused tequilas to exist, where they hadn't been previously. Tequila has an appellation of origin, like Scotch or Champagne, and has to be made according to the standards set forth by the CRT is the acronym: the Regulatory Council of Tequila. And so that preparation on my end, the desire to build a brand, came together in this really nice confluence of events. And the opportunity to do something as a small player in a really competitive, large industry was contingent upon that change. To be able to be one of the first people to go out there to be able to work to get a product done that was artisan style, catering to the modern tastes of what was happening in the cocktail culture here in the United States. The tequila revolution almost was taking off from 2000 on was when you really started to see the numbers really jump. There's one particular big-dog tequila out there that everybody kind of knows now and they've done a lot of the education of the consumer. The mixed tequila that gave the product such a bad reputation is a $20 bottle of tequila. Now kind of the standard in a lot of places is a bottle of tequila that's $50.

Can you explain the difference between a well, frat party, Aristocrat tequila and the premium tequilas?  Keep Reading »

Kick Off Your Weekend With a Sweet 'Chelada

by Yes, I'm A Girl | May 8, 2009 at 5:02 p.m.
Since you're already in a tequila mood (at least you should be if you read my column yesterday on what you should drink), here's a different* kind of tequila-based cocktail....
*Not a margarita

The Sweet 'Chelada

Ingredients:
3 oz. Corzo Reposado tequila
1.5 oz. fresh lime juice
1 oz. agave nectar (you should be able to find this in a natural food store or in a liquor store. If you can't get it, use traditional maple syrup -- not Aunt Jemima's.)
1 bottle of Pacifico beer
Cayenne pepper powder

To prepare: Pour tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar into a mixing cup. Add a splash of water and ice and shake... hard. Fill a salt-rimmed pint glass with crushed ice. Pour your tequila mix in and top with Pacifico. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper powder on top. Garnish with a lime and enjoy your weekend.

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a Margarita Perfecta

by Chef Evan | May 5, 2009 at 4:34 p.m.
Editor's Note: No, we didn't forget about Cinco de Mayo! We've just been having some technical difficulties with getting a hold of the photos we took of our two killer Cinco de Mayo recipes: the Margarita Perfecta and Pork Carintas Tacos. But the recipes (and the results) are too good to not post just because the computer gods are working against us. Enjoy!

Cinco de Mayo has arrived and what better way to celebrate Mexico's culture and heritage than mixing up a batch of margs and get sloppy? But hold your horses there, Paco. Before we make the perfect margarita we must explore this green ambrosia in depth. What's the difference between a good margarita and a great one? Frozen or on the rocks? Salt or not? A few pitchers of terrific margarita can elevate any ordinary party, bar night, or day at the beach to a night of mythic proportions and even get you laid. So pay attention and take notes. No siestas allowed!

A good margarita is balanced. Sweet, tangy, and strong, the most famous tequila cocktail is supposed to mimic the way you take a tequila shot. And we know you've had your fair share of those. Lick the salt, down the shot, chase with lime. So a good margarita will have a lightly salted rim, a strong tequila flavor but also be sweet with a good kick from the lime. A good margarita should also be frozen. This elevates it to more than a cocktail. A frozen margarita is a party starter in a glass, so put away the martini shaker and pull out that big blender because you're about to become the marg master.  Keep Reading »

How To Tell What a Girl's Like in Bed By What She's Drinking

by kammeo | April 27, 2009 at 3:49 p.m.
I rarely drink white wine. Not because of its taste, in fact I rather enjoy the sweetness, but more so because it reminds me of a cocktail that my mother and her friends would order over Cobb salads while discussing the thread count of designer sheets. It's just so blah -- and practical -- it doesn't stain your teeth and it wouldn't even burn if you threw it in someone's face during a bar fight. Plus, it puts you to sleep... or so I thought.

The other night I arrived late to a party hosted by some of my snooty film buff friends and the only drink left was white wine. One glass turned into several and the next thing I know, I'm red faced and leading my boy toy towards the exit. After a wild and crazy session between the sheets that probably woke my neighbors and had them craving a cigarette, he turned to me and said, "If cheap white wine is all it takes for you to get like that, there's plenty more where that came from."

I always knew that alcohol had an effect on my desire to have sex, but I never realized how much influence it had over my sexual style. And really, such logic makes perfect sense. I behave completely differently after long night of pounding tequila shots verses chugging beer. And jungle juice... whoa... let's just say that is a sure fire way to succumb to the walk of shame.

So what is the perfect cocktail for a night of raucous debauchery? Just call me The Sexual Mixologist because after nights of exhausting research, I have determined the sexual effects of various types of alcohols. To gain a little insight into your late night plans, consider her drink of choice:


Whisk(e)y: There is a reason the slogan for Pendleton Canadian Whisky is "Let'er Buck": whisk(e)y chicks can buck all night. These girls are wild and probably no stranger to the mechanical bull in your local dive bar. Snag one of these firecrackers and you are in store for a wild night of girl-on-top sex. Feel free to give her a little spank -- don't worry, she'll like it.  Keep Reading »
